Trump Supporters Threatening To Boycott 'Star Wars'

Donald Trump and his supporters have frequently painted liberals as oversensitive. But maybe it's the other way around.

After rumors started spreading that the new "Star Wars" movie, "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," had been reshot to include an anti-Trump message at the end, Trump supporters started tweeting their indignation with the hashtag #DumpStarWars.

They are threatening to boycott the movie.

The rumors started thanks to a guy named Jack Posobiec, whose Twitter profile describes him as the "special projects director" of Citizens for Trump.

This Posobiec guy also went on a nearly 20-minute rant about this conspiracy theory on Periscope.

Other Trump supporters seemed to share Posobiec's outrage.

But here's the thing: The rumors are completely false.

Chris Weitz – one of the screenwriters – confirmed this on Twitter.

A lot of these anti-"Star Wars" sentiments from Trump supporters are also linked to the fact that Weitz and another "Star Wars" screenwriter, Gary Whitta, recently switched their Twitter avatars to an image of the logo of the Rebel Alliance with a safety pin through it.
